Continuing to add to the major media onslaught for Justin Timberlake's first new music release in seven years, THE 20/20 EXPERIENCE, out now, the triple-threat performer has just released a new music video for the second single off the superlative album, "Mirrors".

Directed by Floria Sigismond, the unique, visually and emotionally gripping music video traces the relationship of a couple through courtship, marriage, old age and eventually death. Featuring a set of funhouse mirrors, Timberlake then takes to the spotlight to perform a stiking solo dance showcase for the finale following a touching moment of retrieving the two prominently featured wedding rings from mid-air.

"Yesterday is history / Tomorrow is a mystery," Timberlake sings.

Like many tracks on THE 20/20 EXPERIENCE, the song is really two tunes in one, with "You Are The Love Of My Life" section taking up the majority of the final three minutes of the eight-minute-long video experience - with the visual accompianment to match.

The video is dedicated to Timberlake's grandparents, the "For William and Sadie" of the dedication. They were married for 63 years prior to William's death last year.

"Suit & Tie", the first single from the Timbaland-produced album, featuring Jay-Z, shot to #1 on iTunes in its first day, while this second single, "Mirrors", most recently released, currently stands at #12 (while "Suit & Tie" still stands strong at #3). THE 20/20 EXPERIENCE is currently holding strong as the #1 album on iTunes.

Timberlake confirmed earlier this week that a follow-up to THE 20/20 EXPERIENCE will be released later this year. More information is available here.
